Chapter 1

Tessa

I was late.

I hated being late.

Hopping on one foot, I slid one low-heeled pump onto my foot. I dashed into the living room, grabbed my laptop, and slid it into my computer bag. Keys. I needed my keys. I glanced at the kitchen island. No keys.

Crap. Where had I left them? I glanced at my slim, silver watch. If I left now, I had just enough time to stop at Mountain Brew for a latte. I had a to-do list a mile long today, but there was always time for caffeine.

My front door flew open.

“Tessa! I need help.”

My eight-year-old cousin Haley stood in the doorway. She was still in her Pokémon pajamas, and her fine, blonde hair was a tangled cloud around her face.

Her nose screwed up. “Simba escaped.”

I swallowed a groan. Simba was a bad-tempered tabby who hated being outside, but for some reason was a dedicated escape artist. “Where’s your mom?”

“She had to go to the store early. For a delivery.”

My aunt owned a small gift shop in town.

“Where’s Josh?” I knew my oldest cousin would be tasked with watching over the brood.

“Still asleep. Leo is playing Xbox and Caleb is eating his breakfast.” She crossed her arms. “I wouldn’t ask Caleb for help, because he’s a dummy-butt.”

“Don’t call your brother a dummy-butt.”
